Mattress Buying Guide

At Merrimans' Furniture we want to help you find the right mattress to give your body proper comfort to provide you with a good nights sleep, night after night.

A too-hard mattress makes the body do the work, rather than the bed. The shoulder and hips cannot sink into the mattress, so they curve towards each other, resulting in a bent and stressed spine.

A too-soft mattress lets the body sink into a hammock position, causing hips and shoulders to pinch in, the spine to curve and putting pressure on joints and muscles. Numbness and tingling can follow.

Q. How can I tell if I need a new mattress?

A. When was the last time you thought about your mattress? Many of us forget that our mattresses are the most utilized piece of furniture we own. In fact, if you sleep 8 hours a night, in one year you'll rack up 3,000 hours on your mattress. After 10 years, you'll have logged 30,000 hours on the same bed.

Listed below are a few hints that indicate it's time to start thinking about renewing your sleep surface.

1. You bought your current mattress over 8 years ago.

2. You wake up feeling more tired than when you went to sleep.

3. The couch feels more comfortable than your bed.

4. Your mattress looks worn and uneven.

5. You've taken your mattress for granted.
